Redeeming Ace's Heart: Dragons Fury MC Series Book 3 Page 12


  “I plan on staying by her side the whole time except for when I’m in the ring. I can’t take any chances with their safety. I can’t take the chance he might slip through the cracks and no one sees. Val and the guys have to stay in the shadows. We can’t let anyone see them and get back to Antonio. They are our secret weapon, dammit!” Beast yells at the guys and pounds his fist on the table. He hates fearing for Bella. I get where he’s coming from, Bella is most valuable to Antonio, but my girl is pregnant too and I can’t take any unnecessary chances either.

  “We have to have more than two prospects on them, especially Bella,” he demands.

  “You guys can’t be serious. Have you forgotten what Cesare had to endure because of the asshole? We don’t know how much danger he is still. He needs eyes on him just like the girls,” Ryder yells coming to Ces’s defense. He’s right, we can’t dismiss his involvement in all this and subject him to anymore. My girl would kill me if anything else happened to him, and Bella I’m sure would hate Beast too.

  “Look, both girls and Cesare are in danger once they leave this Clubhouse if Antonio is in the area. I say we put four prospects on each of them, this way there are plenty of eyes. Jules has strict orders from me to stay by my side, and go with Bella when she needs her,” I say, then look at Beast. He’ll get what I’m gonna imply next.

  “Beast, I know Bella has suffered at the hands of that bastard, but I can’t let him get to Jules. If she’s not as protected as Bella, he may try and go after my girl. I can’t risk her wellbeing. Cesare has been through enough and Jules would kill me if Antonio got to him again. There are plenty of prospects here from all the Clubs. We assign four to each of them and order the rest to be on the lookout for him or any man out of place. If they don’t have a kutte on, then an officer from one of the Clubs needs to be called to check them out. This is the best way to ensure all of their safety.” I won’t risk the asshole gettin’ anywhere near my girl and baby. I can protect her, but I want the extra security. I’m man enough to do whatever it takes for her. And it doesn’t make me less of a man to ask my brothers for help. When you love someone, you put them and their needs first. Even above my own damn pride.

  “Ok, it’s all settled then. Ryder, I’m putting you in charge of Cesare this weekend. Beast has his hands filled with Bella, and Ces needs someone close to him. Maddox and I will meet with the prospects and give them their assignment. Everyone in the bar in an hour to head out,” Gator says dismissing us. I head back to my girl. It’s time for some quick mornin’ lovin’ before we head out for the day.

  I enter the room and I hear the shower turning off. I quickly undress and head into the bathroom. She’s just wrapping the towel around her wet, naked body. I come up behind her and remove it from her luscious body. Her belly is still flat, and I can’t wait to see her grow my baby. Doc said we have time before she starts showing, at least another month or more.

  I snake my left hand around her waist and up to her breast, grabbing her nipple. With my right hand, I grab her wet hair in my fist. Pulling her head back and kissing her neck, right under her ear where she is the most sensitive.

  I get my purr almost immediately. One touch and she’s putty in my hands. She pushes her ass back into my hard cock. Grinding against me and making me harder by the second. I’m glad I stripped before coming in here, or he would be hurting from being restricted.

  I leave her breast and travel down her body, stopping at her clit. I work her little button the way she likes, and I work her into a quick release. I want inside her now, and I ain’t waitin’.

  I press down on her clit hard and circle faster. A few swipes and she’s screaming my name as she cums all over my hand. I move fast before she comes down from her orgasmic high.

  Removing my hands, I bring it to her waist and bend her forward onto the counter. Lining my cock up with her entrance, then thrust in and then out, pounding into her fast and hard.

  Her body syncs with my movements as we work ourselves into a frenzy. I lean forward on her back, pulling her head to the side and kiss her on the lips. My hand on her hip moves up to find her nipple. My girl loves her nipples played with while I’m inside her.

  Thrusting faster I kiss her neck. Sucking and nibbling, leaving my love marks on her for the world to see.

  “Hunter,” she purrs, and I know what she wants. I withdraw from her quickly, spin her around and lift her onto the countertop. Then I abruptly enter her, propelling forward to the hilt and then pull back just leaving my tip in. She purrs frustrated, cause I’m playing around instead of giving it to her hard.

  I claim her lips and push back in and build a faster rhythm that I know she likes. My hands have assumed their previous positions. One in her hair and the other pinching her nipple. At this pace, it won’t take long for us to get to the finish line.

  Pistoning into her a few more times as she screams, and bites down hard on my bottom lip. I cum with a loud roar and lean my forehead against hers as we catch our breaths.

  After a minute she speaks, “You left me this morning alone in bed. Where did you run off to?” she asks sadly. Ah, for a girl who was somewhat independent, she’s come to lean on me. No complaints here, I assure you. I love her being attached to me, cause truth be told, I am too.

  “We had Church,” I say and leave it at that. She’s a good girl and knows I can’t discuss Club business with her, so if I don’t give her anything she won’t ask.

  “Hunter, is he here? Are we in danger?” she asks, worried as she wraps her arms around me tighter. I pull her closer to my chest and she lays her head there. I hate the fear I hear in her voice.

  “Not that we know, and we want to prevent him gettin’ close to you three. There will be extra eyes on all of you this weekend and as long as you follow my rules, you should be good. Ok?” I say and kiss the top of her head.

  “I will. I promise,” she says, and I feel her relax. I grab a washcloth and clean us up.

  “Now, go get ready. Don’t forget your kutte, kitten. You got ten minutes, then we need to get down to the bar,” I say swatting her ass. She squeals and heads out of the bathroom, wiggling her ass on the way out.

  Jules is wearing a Harley tank top, carpi jeans and her kutte, and I’m wearing my jeans, Club T-shirt and kutte.

  We arrive in the bar, Gator tells me the prospects have been informed of their duties and are on it. Everyone gathers in and we’re just waiting on Beast and Bella. I hope she didn’t get sick again this mornin’, poor girl has been having the worst time with her pregnancy. My Jules has only gotten sick a couple of times and that was after she ate something that didn’t agree with her. The only way she knows she was pregnant was because her period was late and she’s always on time. It’s not like we took any precautions either. All the times we’ve been together, I never wore a condom or pulled out. So, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and I was good with that.

  Jules and I head over to Shorty and Cindy. Ces and Ryder join us. My brother has been happier the last few days, actually, they both have. I wonder what that’s all about. Maybe Ryder finally gave in and made Ces his, in bed. I’ll find out soon enough, I’m sure. Ces doesn’t keep much from the girls and Jules will be so happy she’ll tell me.

  Shorty has her tiny arms wrapped around Blaze’s waist and her head resting on his chest. We’re all talking and waiting for the rest of our entourage. Slider checked on them a few minutes ago and said there was no answer at their door. I’m going to assume she’s sick since they should have had time to fuck earlier. I know she can’t get enough of my brother these days and being pregnant only makes it worse. Pregnant women are horny as fuck and I’m getting a taste of my own. At this rate, I may keep my girl knocked up, in my bed, and naked for a long time.

  An hour after Gator ordered us to meet, they walk into the bar hand in hand. Bella looks tired and like she was crying. She must be sick, or her pregnancy hormones are getting’ the best of her.

  Before we can even greet them,
Slider, Maddox’s VP, disrespects Bella. I’m not sure what his exact words are, but the tone of his voice was enough to set me off. I place Jules on her feet and Blaze releases Gigi. We rush over to their sides with Gator, Maddox, Ryder, Val, Lorenzo, Romeo, and Bash. Val and Maddox take lead beside Beast. Beast has Bella behind him and Blaze, Ryder and myself flock her. Lorenzo, Romeo, and Bash surround Slider’s back and sides. We are all pissed to shit, no one disrespects an ol’ lady. Slider of all people should know this as Club VP. What the hell is he thinking?

  Beast, Val, and Maddox order him to apologize. He’s an asshole and is still acting like it. Bella puts him in his place with her sassy mouth, though. Girl is cutthroat when she needs to be.

  After the little drama, we all head out for the day. Jules on the back of my bike and I’m surprised to see Ces on the back of Ryder’s. He’s not holding onto him or anything, but he’s riding bitch. I guess Ryder really is concerned about his safety after what happened to him and wants to keep him close.

  We meet up for lunch with some old friends and catch up, then we head off to the fight ring. I’ll be fighting today along with my brothers and Bella’s. We do this at every event to bring in some money for the Club. Bella’s brothers asked me if they could fight too, as a thank you for all our Club has done for them. So, I set it up.

  This will be the first time Jules will see me fight. I don’t usually fight at our big Club parties, I leave it to Beast and the other brothers. It’s not that I can’t fight, I’m a damn good fighter. I just don’t like to do it often. Being beat up a lot, as a kid, deters you, I guess. I only fight for the Club when needed, these days.

  After the fights, which I must add that we all won and brought in a shit load of money for the Club, we walk around hitting up some of the street vendors. I get my girl a few things she was eyeing.

  Blaze disappeared after his fight. Oh well, he’s entitled to his fun and there is plenty of that around this place. Pussy is all over and willing to anyone wearing a kutte, especially to the officers. I know it gets to him hanging around Beast and I with our girls, so I won’t begrudge him for going off on his own with Throttle. Maybe in the sea of women, they can find a good one. One they have a connection to.

  After a fun-filled day, we find ourselves back at the bar for dinner and to shoot the shit. The place is packed inside and out back. It’s been great catchin’ up with all our brothers and friends, most we haven’t seen since March last year, at bike week.

  In the middle of my conversation with Cane, at the table next to us, I hear Bella call Jules’s name. That girl is constantly in the bathroom and taking my girl with her. I kiss my girl before she leaves and turns back to Cane.

  “You got her trained already, don’t ya?” Cane says, laughing and the guys join in. The music is low, allowing us all to talk and hear one another.

  “Fuck you,” I growl. I ain’t gettin’ into my sex life with these assholes.

  “You jealous, brother, cause I got me a good girl,” I say and this time I do laugh.

  “I ain’t jealous, man, I just wanna know how you two assholes got so lucky, and where I can find a fine piece of ass like them,” Cane says with a straight face. He’s serious, he’s ready to settle down.

  “Ain’t gonna find anythin’ like those two around here, brother,” Maddox says hysterically. “Those two girls are grade A, prime choice and there ain’t many of them left. These two assholes were lucky to find them. Those girls may have sassy mouths on them, but they have thick-skin and are tougher in ways half the men around here aren’t, especially, Bella. We would all be lucky to find spectacular women like them.” Damn, he’s right. It’s nice to have my brothers see my girl’s worth.

  “Bella doesn’t seem all that tough to me, maybe it’s just cause she’s prego,” Cane says, and I can see my brother Beast about to attack, but he doesn’t get the chance. Jules comes charging towards me, pushing the guys out of her way to get closer. She has tears in her eyes ready to fall any second. She’s never let me see her cry, so this must be bad, especially since Bella’s not with her.

  Bella.

  The babies.

  Shit, are they ok?

  I’m about to ask her what’s wrong when she shouts, “Anton! Bella! Bathroom! Hurry, twenty men!” The second his name popped out of her mouth, I was up and taking her in my arms. I see the look on my brother, Beast’s face, he’s scared and pissed. Nothing is going to stop him from gettin’ to Bella.

  Gator orders Bella’s brothers to stay in the bar and I order Jules to stay with them. I kiss her and leave her in Ces’s arms. Then we all run to the bathroom before Antonio can leave here with Bella.

  Beast, Gator, and Maddox take the lead and burst into the room. Blaze, Ryder, Bull, and I are right behind them. Cane leads the rest, stand, and block the door. When we enter we hear Bella screaming at him with a knife to his neck. Strong as steel that girl is for sure.

  I stand behind the asshole, blocking him in, and Beast handles his shit. Bella’s face is red and swollen, that shithead hit her, more than once by the look of it. Her eye is cut with blood dripping down her face.

  I want to fuck this asshole up, especially when he tells the men in the room how he fucked Bella and tries to claim Beast’s baby has his. It was just like Beast was afraid would happen if he found out. Beast handles it, though, with the knife to his neck and a gun to his head. We follow his lead and I’m more than happy to put a bullet in the asshole’s head.

  Gator takes over, givin’ Antonio an ultimatum. He and his men can leave Florida tonight, or he will let Beast tear his ass up. He chooses to leave, I wish he would have gone with option two. I’m itching to get my hands on this fucker.

  Gator orders him out and he turns to go. I can’t keep my mouth shut any longer, he’s threatened my girl more than once and I can’t let that slide. When he turns, I’m in his face with a hostile look.

  “You will never touch any of them, and if I have too, I will kill you myself before Gio gets his hands on you. The girls and Cesare are off limits to you now and forever. They are under all the men in this state’s protection, so you had better abide by our demands. You are outnumbered here tonight, and any other time you try, 10 to 1 if not more. So, leave Florida and never show your ugly fuckin’ face here again. Go crawl under a fuckin’ rock and stay there. You got me, asshole!” I shout, spitting my words all over his face. He looks back at me with anger, knowing what I’m saying is true.

  This is bullshit watching him leave, but it’s better this way, for now.

  Once they are gone, I make a beeline back to my girl and take her in my arms.

  “She’s fine, now. A little roughed up but Beast has her. She’ll be out in a minute,” I say, then look into her eyes. She looks a little pale. I need to know she and our baby are ok. “You all good, kitten?” She shivers in my arms and buries her face in my chest.

  “We’re good, blue. I just need to see Bella, then I want to leave. I need to lay down,” she whispers into my chest.

  “You got it, kitten,” I say as Beast comes out holding Bella in his arms.

  Everyone gathers around them, and we make our way over. They all see her face as Beast brings her closer.

  “No! Don’t touch me!” Bella yells at Val. He knows she doesn’t like to be touched, so why is he even trying.

  Ces and Jules get closer to her and I stay back a little, letting her family see she’s better now.

  “Lovey, you good, we got you.” Ces coos to her. He knows how to handle the girls as much as it bothers me still.

  “I know you're taking our girl back. I want to go with you. I don’t want to leave her side after this?” he asks Beast. Bella takes him in her arms.

  “I wouldn’t have it any other way. She needs you as much as me right now,” Beast says.

  “I’m taking Jules back too. I think a quiet night together will be good for the girls,” I tell Beast, then look down to Bella. “You good with that, sweetheart, or do you want to be alone with
your man?”

  “That sounds good to me. I need to be in my man’s arms and hold my baby sister while keeping these babies calm. They are going wild in my belly. Feel,” Bella says to Beast. He can’t do as she asks, though, with her in his arms. Her brothers, Blaze, Ces, Jules, Ryder, Gator, Sam, Maddox, and I all get to feel them moving around in her belly.

  Then she finally allows Val to hold her, so Beast can feel his sons. They have a moment together and I take the opportunity to pull Jules to the side.

  “Kitten, you good on the back of my bike or do you want to go with Bella in the cage?” I don’t want her on my bike if she’s not feelin’ well. I’d rather her be in the cage.

  “We’re good, blue. Please, I don’t want to leave you,” she pleads and that’s not like my girl.

  “I’m not goin’ anywhere, kitten. Let’s get you back.” We all gather together and head outside.

  Apparently, Maddox and Gator set up escorts for Beast and us back to the Clubhouse.

  We make our way back and head to the media room to chill for the rest of the night. Bella’s brothers, Ryder and Ces, and Gigi stay there all night. Around one, I take Jules back to the apartment we’re staying in. She wants to sleep in bed with me, not on the uncomfortable couch.

  Bella will be alright and so will my girl. We won’t ever let anything like what happened tonight happen again. This was too close for my comfort, and I will do anything in my power to protect them from that asshat.

  Chapter 13

  Julietta

  All this excitement is starting to wear me down. This morning, Bella said she wanted to stay at the Clubhouse today after last night’s debacle, I was all in. When I woke up, I wasn’t feeling up to venturing off anyway. I’m tired and still, a little freaked out about last night too.
